Pointer to Reddit ‘Ask Me Anything’ Interview
Summary: Krebs posted a note pointing readers to a Reddit Ask Me Anything he did about investigative reporting, in which he spent most of a day answering questions on data breaches, cybercrime and cybercriminals. In the comment thread he said he did not believe the ProtonMail attack was state-sponsored, and warned that insecure Internet of Things devices and poorly secured networking hardware shipped by companies and ISPs are creating a problem the U.S. is not equipped to handle.
Bottom line: Krebs' point is that the insecure hardware already shipped worldwide, from networking gear to IoT, is a mess no one is equipped to clean up, and the coming wave of semi-secure devices will make it worse unless the dynamic changes soon.
